A Famous Defective.

James Jackson, the famous State de-
tective. resides in Sing Sing. and is gen.
orally in attendance at the prison. His
duties are to examine carefully the face
of every convict as he enters, and to
scrutinize every visitor in order to pre-
vent any discharged convict seeing his
pals. Occasionally he has to make long
journeys in pursuit of runaway prisoners
or to identify criminals convicted in 9TH
er States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once
an escaped convict had his nose pared
down onethird. but Jackson detected
him at once. Notwithstanding this re-
markable change of feature. Mr.. Jack
son is about ) feet inches in height,
about IS years DID, of light and sinewy
build, with black hair and piercing black
eyes. and is altogether remarkably hand

and it is simply wonderful that he can
distinguish the features of every one On
his long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the
jOlting Of the cars on his tiresome trips
he uses two AllcOck's Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him re-
newed vigor and quickly relieve him Of

remedies he uses. and he attributes his

A River by Order.

Captain King, author of .'The Colo
nel's Daughter. in his brochure en-
titled campaigning with Crook, "
tells an amusing and characteristic an
ecdote of Colonel Royal. now COM
manding the Fourth Cavalry, but then
Lieutenant-Colonel of the Third. He
says:
"A story is going the rounds of the
camp which does US all good even in
this dismal weather. Colonel Royal
ordered one of his battalion command
ers to put that battalion in camp on
the other side of the river, facing
east
"A prominent and well-known habit
of the subordinate officer was tend
ency to split hairs, discuss orders, and,
in fine, to make trouble where there
was ghost of chance of SO doing
unpunished.
Presently the Colonel saw that his
instructions were not being carried
out, and not being in mood for indi-
rect action, he put spurs to his horse,
dashed through the stream, and reined
up alongside the victim, with, Didn't
l order You, sir, to put your battalion
in camp along the river facing east?'
&" Yes, sir. But this isn't a river;
it's only creek

George said nothing, but kept on

you speak?' she continued, giving him

The Horse supply Of Europe.

One of the most striking results of
the present war scare has been to di-
rect attention of almost every Euro
pean Government to its sources of
horse supply. Germany was the first
to take alarm, and last week issued an
edict that no more horses should be ex-
ported. Russia followed with ukase
of the same kind this week. and Aus
tria will follow their example imme-
diately. That France has no horses to
spare is well known. She recently
purchased 5000 in Denmark, and their
shipment to France was one of the in-
cidents which frightened Germany into
issuing her edict against equine expor-
tation. The number.of horses required
by the two European armies when on
war footing is astonishing. The num-
ber of those required for military pur-
poses even in time of peace is enor-
nous. Little Belgium requires no less
that 10000 horses for the peace foot
ing of her army. If Germany were to
90 to war she would want $50 900 and
France at least 900 The Austrian
service calls for POP 600, and Russia
exceeds all by requiring 460,0
These figures are taken from a little
work just published here on the organ
ization and equipment of foreign ar
mics, and their accuracy may be de-
pended upon. England is more desti-
tute Of cavalry and artillery horses
than any of the great powers. A
writer in the Daily Telegraph recently
gives some interesting figures on this
subject. He states that in the event of
war England could not put two army
corps into the field without having. at
least 10000 more half-brced horses
than she now possesses; and that If
war lasted six months she would re-
quire an additional reinforcement of at
least 10000 per month. There are
only 100000 horses in Great Bri-
tain, and nearly all of these are draft,
hunting, and race horses, so that no
European country can come here to
buy its cavalry and artillery horses.
Russia has more horses than any other
country in the world, the number
amounting to over 23,0O0,0OO, but
since the export is prohibited Europe
can only look for fresh supplies to the
United States and Canada. The latter
two countries have only 100000
horses, 100000 belonging to the
United States. None of the European
armies employ mules except those of
Spain and Portugal, where they are
used almost exclusively for the COM
missariat service, as they were in the
United States during the Civil War.
Italy and Switzerland have also small
number of mountain batteries horsed
by mules. The English War. Office
purchased large quantities of mules in
America for her commissariat service
when it looked as though she would 90

ago. But they were not satisfactory,
